Politicians start wars, ordinary men and women do the fighting and dying and banks, wealthy individuals and arms manufacturers make a fortune. Sad but true.

100, HAS JUST TURNED BLUE, MAY BE, JUST MAY BE, A CEASE FIRE MIGHT BECOME A REALITY

Could be something or nothing. I was listening to an Indian expert on geo politics and economics last night, apparently India has some big investments in the far East of Russia pending a conclusion, they remain neutral with regard to the current situation.

Someone may have already discussed this but are there any implications of the Swiss going along with sanctions, given we have a Swiss bank involved. Cheers

If Russia is excluded from the SWIFT system the repercussions will affect everyone, it will be a disaster for the world's economies, but then may be that's just what Schwabb and his billionaire psychopath friends at the WEF want. He gets his great reset, we end up owning nothing but are happy, however they remain billionaires. Let's hope and pray that some semblance of sanity is kept, but listening to the EU spokes people I am not optimistic

Is now up 3%, clearly optimistic

Apologies, Sharebel, your optimism is most up lifting, lets believe that a ceasefire will occur, Ukraine cannot take on Russia without the support of Western military and they have no appetite for a what would be a terrible confict

Are we close to a record in terms of shares traded??

Is currently up 2.5%, seems economics and politics currently have differing opinions on the effect and or outcome of the conflict

C.L. I should have said could use it not would use it.

I was listening to an expert on geo political stuff yesterday. He said it is highly unlikely that Russia would be kicked out of swift as they would use Crypto and the Western Banks wouldn`t want this. It seem like more sabre rattling.

The Ukraine has been shelling the 2 break away republics on and off for 8 years now, was this ever in the MSM??. Do you remember the overthrowing of a democratically elected Ukrainian president in 2014?. The US was behind this. We have very short memories. This action by Putin was inevitable.

There is a common theme that no one has mentioned. What do Iraq, Syria, Libya and Russia all have in common??. They wanted or want to trade their oil in a currency other than the petro dollar. All were and currently are sick of US domination and having to use dollars. Do not threaten the dollar, it tends to end badly for countries that do

It gets to 11p, big sell off again, all big round numbers of shares, you could almost believe that it was deliberately being kept from bouncing higher??

Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. Seldom does any war just happen, powerful forces always have an agenda WW1, WW2, both could have been prevented, this is no different, it was inevitable and as has already been stated, sanctions will only really hurt us, never mind, we can buy more expensive American shale gas in the form of LNG.

Each time this tries to get back above 10p there is a sell off!!!.

I find the hypocrisy of Western Governments quite stomach churning. The USA invaded Iraq in 2003 based on blatant lies and we joined them, were sanctions imposed on the USA , of course not, they can do what they like to whom they like, when they like. 2 wrongs do not make a right and this move by Russia is of course wrong, though the justification for it has more credibility than invading Iraq. I cannot imagine being a civilian in a conflict zone, terrifying, I hope and pray it ends quickly.

toon. Indeed, it was the Soviet Union in the 80`s

The USA can invade countries like Iraq and Afghanistan, thats ok, cause destruction and chaos in Libya, thats fine. Russia is concerned that it is now surrounded by NATO (US) bases and yet they are the aggressors for being concerned??. The USA needs never ending wars to keep its armaments factories in business. Who will loose out in the end, we will, buying expensive US shale gas rather than natural gas from Russia, who will just sell it to the far Eastern countries
